Summary

  • Allison Oasis Kahn has joined Greenberg Traurig’s West Palm Beach office as chair of its local Labor & Employment Practice, a hire aimed at expanding employer-side work in fast-growing Palm Beach County.
  • Kahn arrives from Carlton Fields after more than two decades and brings a 25-year labor and employment practice that includes litigation, arbitration, workplace investigations, wage-and-hour compliance, and class and collective actions.
  • More than 300 employee-classification audits under federal overtime law highlight her experience, alongside appearances before the EEOC, U.S. Department of Labor, Florida regulators, and county fair-employment agencies.
  • The appointment fits Greenberg Traurig’s broader Palm Beach push: the firm recently signed a 10-year lease at 15 CityPlace and says rising business investment is driving demand for sophisticated workplace counsel.
  • Greenberg Traurig has about 3,200 lawyers across 51 locations, giving Kahn a larger platform as the firm deepens its presence in what it called the growing 'Wall Street South' market.
